About Freya

UPDATE: October 1, 2026 Freya is settling in and had a very encouraging veterinary visit! Her veterinarian does not consider Freya a hospice case and feels she currently has a good quality of life and plenty of spirit. Her bloodwork did not show diabetes or kidney disease. She does have a urinary tract infection, which may be contributing to her increased drinking, urination, and panting. We are treating the infection first and will reassess those symptoms once she has had time to recover. Freya also has some arthritis, but it is not currently keeping her from getting around, exploring, or even helping herself to treats off the counter! Her unusual foot and extra toe were evaluated with an X ray, and for now there is no reason to remove the toe unless it begins causing her problems. For now, Freya is enjoying the comforts of her foster home while we get her UTI treated and learn more about what helps her feel her best. She has made it very clear that there is still plenty of life and personality in this sweet senior girl. Freya will be available for adoption once she has completed her initial medical care. We are so grateful to everyone helping give this special senior the chance to enjoy her next chapter. Freya's Story Freya has made it out of the shelter and is now safely in a foster home with Great Plains Pointer Rescue. She is a 13-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer who came to the shelter after her owner passed away. She had been living in difficult conditions and arrived in need of significant care. Despite everything she has been through, Freya has shown us that she still has plenty of personality. She enjoys being with people, exploring her surroundings, and, apparently, helping herself to anything interesting on the counter. When Freya first arrived, her shelter records noted mobility and joint issues, cataracts, dental disease, pressure sores, and a malformed digit on one of her front paws. She has now had her initial veterinary evaluation through GPPR, and we are addressing her needs one step at a time. What Happens Next? Freya's first priority is getting healthy and comfortable in her foster home. We are treating her urinary tract infection and giving her time to settle in so we can get a better picture of her day-to-day needs. Once her initial medical care is complete, Freya will be available for adoption. We will continue to update this page as we learn more about this sweet senior girl.
